An Evening Of Songs And Stories
Jimmy Webb, best known for writing instant classics such as “By The Time I Get
To Phoenix", “Wichita Lineman”, “Galveston”, and “Where’s The Playground,
Susie” (Glen Campbell), “MacArthur Park” and “Didn’t We” (Richard Harris),
“Up, Up and Away” and “This Is Your Life” (the Fifth Dimension), “Worst That
Could Happen” (The Brooklyn Bridge), “All I Know” (Art Garfunkel), “Easy For
You To Say” (Linda Ronstadt) and many other multi-million selling songs,
continues to write songs that are as carefully crafted and magical as the earlier
ones. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson hit
#1 in the late eighties with another Webb standard, “The Highwayman,” a ballad
which won him yet another Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year, and a
CMA Award for Single Of The Year. Linda Ronstadt, who has recorded a
multitude of his songs throughout her recording career, included four of his
efforts on her double platinum album, “Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like the
Wind.” With a discography that reads like a “Who’s Who” in the music world, and
a list of awards the envy of the greatest composers in history, Webb’s songs
continue to grace a multitude of major recording artists’ albums, from Tony
Bennett and Rosemary Clooney, to Urge Overkill, Reba McEntire, and R.E.M..
Webb is the only artist to ever receive Grammy awards for music, lyrics, and
orchestration. He's a member of the National Academy of Popular Music
Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and,
according to BMI, his “By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” has been the third most
performed song in the last fifty years, with “Up, Up and Away” on the same list in
the top thirty. Webb’s, “Wichita Lineman” has been listed in MOJO Magazine’s
worldwide survey of the best one hundred singles of all time in the top fifty, and
was singled out in the Oct/Nov 2001 issue of Blender as “The Greatest Song
Ever.” The National Academy of Songwriters also named Jimmy as 1993’s
recipient of their Lifetime Achievement Award.
This concert will be an engaging mix of the songwriter performing his own songs
and telling stories about them and the famous artists whose recordings have sold
many millions of copies of those songs.

| w/ JONATHAN KINGHAM |
Born in Santa Barbara, Glen Phillips was the lead singer and main songwriter for
Toad the Wet Sprocket. The band started in 1986, when Phillips was only 14. Their
first LP, Bread and Circus, was recorded in 1988 and got them signed to Columbia
Records. Their third album, Fear, got heavy radio play with the singles "All I Want"
and "Walk on the Ocean." After three years away from the recording studio, Toad
came back with Dulcinea, which again found one of its singles, "Fall Down," in heavy
radio rotation. After six albums and a substantial amount of touring, the group
disbanded in 1998.
Phillips began touring as a solo act after Toad the Wet Sprocket broke up, and worked
with producer Ethan Johns to create his first solo album, Albulum. Glen Phillips says
it took a "ridiculously long time" to create; it was finally released in April of 2001 on
Brick Red Records. Phillips has also collaborated on several songs with bluegrass band
Nickel Creek and toured with them for the last half of 2001. He released Live at Largo
in In 2003, followed by Winter Pays for Summer in 2005, a collection of new material
that featured guest appearences from ex-Jellyfish front man Andy Sturmer, Ben Folds,
Kristin Mooney, Jon Brion, and Semisonic/Trip Shakespeare scribe Dan Wilson.

- "Honeyboy Edwards is among the last authentic performers in the blues idiom that
developed in central Mississippi during the second and third decades of [the 20th]
century....Through him, an entire body of great American music lives on." ~ Robert
Palmer, author of Deep Blues and former pop music critic of The New York Times
- "Delta blues veteran David Honeyboy Edwards has remained utterly true to his
roots through a career that began in Mississippi in the 1930s. A Honeyboy Edwards
show is a rare, unselfconscious performance of living blues history." ~ David
Whiteis, Chicago Reader
- "Everywhere Edwards leads us is a worthwhile place to go." ~ Acoustic Guitar

Roy Zimmerman has played clubs across the country, and shared the stage with George Carlin, Bill Maher, Kate
Clinton, Dennis Miller, Sandra Tsing Loh, kd lang, Andy Borowitz and Paul Krassner. He's done several shows
with The Pixies' Frank Black, swapping songs in a solo acoustic setting. His up-to-the-moment topical songs are
featured on American Public Media's syndicated broadcast "Weekend America" and Sirius Radio's "West Coast
Live."
Zimmerman founded and wrote all the material for the comedy folk quartet The Foremen, who recorded four
albums, two of them for Warner/Reprise Records. The Foremen toured extensively, playing the nation's major
folk venues, a lot of fancy Progressive benefits, Pete Seeger's Clearwater Festival (under an overpass in the rain)
and CBGB. They even warmed up the crowd for President Bill Clinton.
Roy himself says "I've been writing topical since Mrs. Hemphill's wig blew off in seventh grade. My songs have a
decidedly Lefty slant. We used to have a name for Right Wing satire - we called it "cruelty."

society's foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer." ~
The Los Angeles Times
- "I congratulate Roy Zimmerman on reintroducing literacy to
comedy songs. And the rhymes actually rhyme, they don't just
'rhyne.'" ~ Tom Lehrer
- "Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection." ~ Joni
Mitchell
